No matter how fiercely Zhao Chen fought with others before, no one around him lost his life.
But today...
Li Ke looked at Zhao Chen and saw that there was no harsh look on Zhao Chen's face.
But Li Ke knew in his heart that the more Zhao Chen acted like this, the more it meant that he was extremely angry.
Huang Zhi was killed by Du He, and all the shopkeepers and clerks of Wangyou Bookstore were chased to death by Du He's men.
Qin Huaiyu still remembered that when they left the boundary of Yingzhou on Shopkeeper Liu's merchant ship, he promised Shopkeeper Liu to have a drink with Huang Zhi.
But now...
Qin Huaiyu stood aside and hit the big tree beside him with his right fist.
Changsun Chong didn't speak, and the others didn't speak either, they just looked at Zhao Chen in front of them.
Everyone knows it in their hearts.
When I go back to Chang'an City this time, I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm.
"You get up first, let's take a rest here." Zhao Chen helped the guy in front of him and said slowly.
"My boss..." The waiter looked at Zhao Chen with a look of panic on his face.
God knows how many times he has been hunted down along the way.
The killer sent by Du He has been chasing him.
If it hadn't been for several narrow escapes, he would have died by the killer's knife long ago.
"Qin San, there are probably people chasing him later. You go and have a look and catch him alive." said Zhao Chen and Qin Huaiyu behind him.
"Okay!" Several people nodded and rode towards the official road ahead.
The clerk originally wanted to remind Zhao Chen, but unexpectedly, he had already realized it.
"Tell me about the situation that day." Zhao Chen leaned against the tree trunk and looked at the waiter expressionlessly and said.
…
"Huaiyu, I'm afraid something big is going to happen now." Immediately, Li Ke looked at Qin Huaiyu and said in a deep voice.
Qin Huaiyu would never have thought that something like this would happen in Chang'an City just when they went out to Jiangnan.
This is even more incredible than the news that they knew Li Yuanji was still alive.
And in disbelief, there was even a hint of panic.
Huang Zhi was killed, and the shopkeeper and clerk of the bookstore were hunted down.
Zhao Chen will never let any murderer go.
"That guy Du He really doesn't care about life and death. Did he think he was just killing an ordinary shopkeeper?"
"I'm afraid that if Zhao Da goes back this time, Du He's death knell will ring." Qin Huaiyu said slowly.
He really couldn't understand what Du He was thinking.
Do you think it’s as simple as just killing an ordinary shopkeeper?
What Qin Huaiyu can conclude is that if no one organizes Zhao Chen, a big change will happen to Chang'an City soon.
"Li Ke, do you think we should send a message to His Majesty? If Zhao Da gets so angry that no one can stop him." Qin Huaiyu was a little worried.
He was not worried that someone would be able to deal with Zhao Chen.
But he was worried that Zhao Chen wouldn't be able to end it later.
If the emperor were here, he might be able to persuade him a little more.
"Sir, will you blame us for being nosy?" Li Ke hesitated.
Du He and the others were so wanton and reckless, Li Ke felt that it was appropriate for Zhao Chen to deal with them.
Moreover, if they inform the emperor privately about this matter and make Zhao Chen unhappy...
"Li Ke, there are so many people in the academy, and Zhao Da values you the most. At such a critical moment, you don't take any responsibility at all?" Qin Huaiyu looked at Li Ke with some annoyance.
Li Ke frowned.
It's not that he is irresponsible, he is just worried about disrupting Zhao Chen's plan.
"Li Ke, please tell me whether it's okay or not." Qin Huaiyu frowned.
"Okay, but we have to wait until we are about to arrive in Chang'an before writing to my father. Otherwise, my father will come back before things have even started." Li Ke nodded and talked to Qin Huaiyu.
Qin Huaiyu nodded, and everyone continued to move forward. Not long after, they heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from the front.
…
"Du He, do you know why I came to see you today?" Li Tai looked at Du He in front of him in the East Palace, his face looking a little sinister.
Du He was also surprised.
It's so good, why did Li Tai give himself such an expression?
But no matter how much he didn't understand in his heart, Du He wouldn't show it on his face.
Smiling, he bowed his hands to Li Tai and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned his ministers here. He must have something to give you."
"Your Highness, just ask, I will do my best to handle it."
"Instructions? I do have something to tell you." Li Tai looked at Du He with a sneer on his face.
"Du He, my mother summoned me to the palace yesterday. She asked me to give up on you. Do you understand why?"
Du He's expression changed drastically.
She didn't even understand why Empress Changsun suddenly interfered in her affairs.
Let Li Tai give up on himself?
What happened?
Even though he was extremely panicked, Du He gritted his teeth and asked Li Tai, "Your Highness, please give me a clear explanation."
"Explicitly stated?" Li Tai looked at Du He with a cold expression.
"The Queen Mother already knows that you killed Huang Zhi, and what the Queen Mother means is that she has already informed Zhao Chen about it."
"Du He, didn't you tell me that you cleared out all the people who were present at that time?"
"But why does the queen mother know about this?" Li Tai said bitterly, with a stern expression on his face.
Li Tai knew very well that if he just found a reason to confiscate all the property under Zhao Chen.
After Zhao Chen met Chang An, the most he could do was tit for tat with himself.
But he had never dealt with Zhao Chen.
So this matter doesn't matter.
At most, each of them will suffer some losses.
But as for Du He, he killed Zhao Chen's men, and he killed them without being seen.
Zhao Chen must have known the news by now.
When Zhao Chen comes back, he won't directly fight for his life.
Zhao Chen is a madman, and he also possesses a powerful weapon like the Sky Cannon.
If he throws the sky-blasting cannon at his east palace...
Li Tai no longer dared to think about it.
He only knew that if this matter was not handled properly, he would have no choice but to listen to Empress Changsun and abandon Du He.
No matter what, he, Li Tai, didn't want to fight Zhao Chen to death.
Du He was a little confused.
He obviously killed basically everyone present at the time.
The last guy has also been being hunted.
But why did the queen know about this?
He also passed the news to Zhao Chen!
Du He's hands and feet were cold at the moment, and he knew he could only pray to Li Tai for help.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please help me." Du He held Li Tai's hand and begged.
Du He knew that he alone could not defeat Zhao Chen no matter what.
Zhao Chen has three thousand Xuanjia troops under his command. With these people, they can intercept and kill Du He on the spot.
Du He wondered whether Zhao Chen would lead the Xuanjia Army straight to his Du family's residence after returning to Chang'an.
"How can I help you? You can't even handle such a small thing." Li Tai said coldly.
Du He has done something like this, will Zhao Chen easily let him go and let Li Tai go when he comes back?
What a joke, my identity has no meaning at all in front of Zhao Chen.
Moreover, the emperor is not in Chang'an yet.
When the time comes, you can still have some chances to beg the queen yourself.
But what about Du He, would the queen offend Zhao Chen for him?
